We currently have three companies offering 20% discount to fully registered GCN clubs. The discounts are with Warlord Games, 4Ground and The Outpost. Discount is available via the companies web stores and a code has to be entered on the checkout/payment pages in the box provided. How cool I is that!

How do you get the codes you ask, well that is a very good question. You need to contact me directly and I will send you the codes, its as simple as that. Providing that your club is fully compliant I will send you the codes with 24/48 hours of your request.

The codes are not available elsewhere, you have to come directly to me for them, in most cases we are not printing them and they are not going to appear in the newsletters, on Facebook etc etc as we do not want the system abusing. One thing I will ask you though, please do not share any of the discount codes with persons outside of your club, this is one of the benefits of your club being GCN registered.

The previous Warlord Games discount code had been seriously abused over the last year or so by people and clubs with no connection or affiliation to any GCN club. The code had obviously been mentioned outside of a number of GCN registered clubs to get 'mates' discount, and from there passed on again and again. We want to avoid that situation from reoccurring again in the future to Warlord Games and the other companies offering GCN member clubs a discount. If the system is abused we are in danger of the discounts being withdrawn completely.

Keep an eye out for future discounts with other companies, we potentially have two more promotions in the pipeline for the new year! News will be announced in the newsletter, on the GCN web site and the GCN Facebook page.

Westwind Productions.

I thought that I would update you all on the latest news from Westwind Productions and their association with the GCN. Well there is some good news and there is some bad news, lets start with the bad news first.

Westwind have discontinued the 'Empire of the Dead' club starter pack promotion with immediate effect, and as such those sets are no longer available.

However its not all doom and gloom as there is some good news too, I was speaking to Wendy Cooper from Westind Productions on the phone on Monday and Westind want to look at doing a whole new GCN club promotion in 2014. As to what the promotion will has not been finalised yet, rest assured that as soon as we know what its going to be we will announce the news through the usual sources!

In the meantime Wendy and Andy at Westwind have asked me to send out the following information regards their new War & Empire 15mm Ancient Kick-starter that is currently live, please see the information below.

That's all from me for now, have a great Christmas and New Year!

Anthony Barnes

GCN President.

Hi to all Club Members!

West Wind/Forged in Battle have just gone live to Kickstarter with a great new project! The Kickstarter is running now until Friday 20th December.

Why is that you ask, well I will tell you, the GCN has reached 150 clubs! yes 150 clubs, something to shout about and be really proud of I think!

Actually it should be 152 clubs, unfortunately two of our existing clubs have had to cease operating and now no longer meet! So I will take this opportunity to wish all the members of those club best wishes foe the future and hopefully they can find an outlet for their gaming activities.

However I am currently in the process of dealing with several other applications so we might be well on the way to 160 clubs before the years end!

New clubs to the GCN this month are scattered about quite a bit around England Wales and Northern Ireland!

We have five new clubs joining us this month!

Apocalypse Wargaming Club are based in Bristol.
Derby Dice 'N' Dagger are based in Derby, obviously.
Warborne Games club, are located in Wimborne in Dorset.
Mid Wales Wargaming Society, hail from Builth Wells in Wales.
Hangar 18 Wargaming, are based in Londonderry in Northern Ireland.

Please join me in welcoming all five new clubs into the GCN, hopefully we will be seeing and hearing more from them in the future.

Another point of good news to mention is that we have two new volunteers to be GCN area representatives!

Byron Liles from The Crow Valley Crusaders club in South Wales, and Lee Barber from the Bolton & Bury Gaming Club.

Also don't forget its the GCN AGM this coming Saturday at Warhammer World, meeting starts at 10.30am in 'The Moot', meeting up in Bagman's Bar from 9.30am onwards. Hopefully be seeing some of you there.
